Deleting an authentication source removes the identity provider (IdP) from the list of authentication sources that are automatically verified during user authentication to the application portal or protected applications. The removed IdP remains available for manual selection by users authenticating to the application portal.

Note:The Authentication Sources list must contain at least one IdP. If you need to delete the only IdP on the list, you must first add another Authentication Source, such as the default Portal, to take its place.
